	Meanwhile, "Metta World Peace" & "Chad Ochocinco" are perfectly normal names... ^^

	@Murf1013 Get over yourself. You sound like soccer owes you something. Complaining about some players going by one name? Weak. Because ESPN and American sports fans don't call players by one name. Tell me if you can figure out who these people are by their "single name alias": Kobe? LeBron? Carmelo? Peyton? Tough, I know. And Kaka is short for Ricardo in Portuguese. How dare he go by that nickname when, as an American, it sounds like crap. Can't believe it!

	Would you rather have to type their full names? Kaka - Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, Ronaldo (Brazil) - Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, Ronaldo (Portugal) Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro

	Many South American Spanish and Portuguese players, particularly Brazilian because as rjw5005 says, they're names are very long, so they take nicknames, it has been like that for a long time e.g. Pele, Zico, Romario. Don't be so ignorant of the sport and especially the people who play it.

	Curious as to why this is so poorly rated. Has it been done before?

	Shouldn't Shaq be dropped since he's retired now?

	And Armstrong should be changed to triathlon.

	Don't worry Jeremy Lin, just a few more years

	In a perfect world, Logan Morrison would be on the list.

	No J-Lin? Surprising....

	Oh gosh! Yes, it's so awful for me to say something that bugs me about the sport. @XBigWill: I immediately came right out and said I was ignorant of the sport. "Don't be so ignorant" That's kinda hard to do. You either are or you aren't. @BigPapi: None of those players you listed goes by one name only. 100% of fans know what their last name is. @bullet: Nice examples if you're assuming I find those to be "normal." Those two individuals are complete clowns. This isn't an America vs. non-America thing. It's just annoying that so many names are similar.
